The login prompts close before I can enter my information. This persisted even after deleting and redownloading the app. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Cant log in *2025-05-06, version 1.5* Cant log in pls fix ### 1/5 — TOTAL GARBAGE *2025-04-22, version 1.5* Garbage app can’t event get it to load to the login page to login and access materials ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync properly *2025-04-20, version 1.5* I did about 100 questions, and clicked Sync now a few times, when I logged in again the progress was not saved at all, it’s so frustrating, I’m trying track progresses, now I have to redo the 100 questions, but it won’t reflect my actual accuracy because I already read the answers, this is soooooo frustrating, as a learning app, isn’t that the most basic function to offer? ### 1/5 — Would give 0 star *2025-04-15, version 1.5* Can’t even log in, the email field disappears half way through typing. At least the revision material is easy to access on the website… not ### 1/5 — Cannot login the course *2025-03-05, version 1.5* Cannot login the course ### 1/5 — managed to log in to find nothing to do *2025-03-03, version 1.5* I usually don’t bother leaving a review but this one is worth a rant ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-02-20, version 1.5* Bugs so bad that I can’t even reach to log in screen. Considering the cost of the CFA programme I would expect the app to be at lease useable. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-02-15, version 1.5* Terrible app, extremely buggy and sometimes just refuses to let you log in at all. A lot of the capabilities you have on the website (highlighting, bookmarking, etc) are not available on this when you do manage to log in. ### 1/5 — Cant even sign in *2025-02-15, version 1.5* App is bugging for the past 2 weeks, i cant sign in ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-02-06, version 1.5* Unable to login as it keeps closing ### 1/5 — It’s not possible to log in *2025-02-04, version 1.5* Useless app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-02-04, version 1.5* It crashes non stop. Good waste of CFA candidates money on useless apps. ### 1/5 — Cannot login *2025-01-11, version 1.5* i faced no issues a few months ago but now i cannot login. The pop up doesn’t stay on for long. Saw the reviews of some people facing the same issues a year back, shocked that it is still not fixed. ### 1/5 — Not even log in *2024-12-27, version 1.5* I have tried the app in the tablet or mobile and it never login. Bad product. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-23, version 1.5* App won’t even let me log in. It pulls up the login page but it’s blank white then promptly gets pulled down. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-06, version 1.5* Login with MFA interrupts the login flow and you get in an infinite loop. ### 1/5 — If you can log in, app is good, like website *2024-11-18, version 1.5* Login popup keeps disappearing while entering my credentials. Better off using website. ### 1/5 — Confirm button doesn’t work. *2024-11-02, version 1.5* In the practice. Every button works except for the confirm answer …. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-12-25, version 1.5* Signed in using my account and wouldn’t even show my courses. Worked fine on my laptop browser but this app does not work for iPad devices ### 1/5 — Not for registered CFA students, only for ACCA *2025-11-29, version 1.5* Not for registered CFA students, only for ACCA ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2025-11-02, version 1.5* Signin unavailable ### 1/5 — Dog Water App *2025-09-06* Please use 0.01% of the revenue you generate from exam fees and add-ons towards a complete makeover of this sorry state app. So frustrating to use this garbage that never opens, logs you off every-time, doesn’t sync progress across devices, terrible UI. ### 1/5 — Very difficult to login, just goes to website *2025-07-20, version 1.5* The login box keeps disappearing before you can finish the process. I’d expect better from the CFA Institute tbh ### 1/5 — No courses found *2025-07-18, version 1.5* Thought will have the same features as website. No courses found after login ### 1/5 — Worst login experience *2025-07-08* The app sometimes have trouble login. No matter how many times you try, it does not allow you to login. Some questions missing exhibits in app. ### 1/5 — Shockingly poor *2025-06-08, version 1.5* The app simply doesn’t work! I struggle to get through the login page. Watermelon Express who built this app really need to fix these absolutely BASIC issues. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2025-05-21, version 1.5* Unable to sign in. ### 1/5 — Repeated login prompt bug not fixed. *2025-05-08* The app has a one star review because it’s terrible. A bug prevents users from logging in and the developers released a new version that’s supposed to have fixed that, but didn’t. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dark theme please *2024-07-08, version 1.5* It’s 2024 and this thing still doesn’t support dark theme! ### 5/5 — Do not stop practicing *2023-02-01* Great way to continue studying when you are away your laptop ### 5/5 — Works well - need dark mode *2022-01-27, version 1.1* Dev team, Please create a dark mode.

The only issue is that the flashcards don’t show all the text on the iPad. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t sync the progress when you practice on the website *2023-11-06, version 1.5* I have attempted pretty much all the practice questions but the app does not sync that data. Please fix it :( ### 3/5 — Does the application have to open up the website *2023-09-28, version 1.5* Apart from the pop up webpage by clicking “start the course”, all good. ### 3/5 — Log in every time is big hassle *2022-08-03, version 1.1* Can we also have face id to make login easier? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
